Through his work with legendary teacher Dorothy Heathcote, Carroll found the focus for combining his diverse interests in science, the arts and education, leading to research and key developments in drama education. His inherent curiosity and desire to understand how things worked or could work lead to significant contributions: firstly, in understanding how drama challenged typical classroom interactions and dynamics; and secondly, in conceptualising how drama could be enacted and played out through cyberspaces and digital technologies. With his passing in 2011 it is fitting that his legacy and contributions be acknowledged. This article aims to do so through analysing his life and work with reference to a framework drawn from socio-cultural and systems models of creativity. This article follows on from one that applies a similar treatment to the life and work of his mentor Dorothy Heathcote. It draws on interviews and conversations with family, friends and colleagues as well as published works. The result is a case study or creative profile, which considers the development, outcomes and significance of John Carroll's work.","PeriodicalId":41180,"journal":{"name":"NJ-Drama Australia Journal","volume":"5 1","pages":"41 - 52"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2013-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78057960","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was Carroll's belief that “Drama, by its very nature as a creative force, demands a different sort of discourse from both teacher and pupils in the classroom” (Carroll, 1988). According to Carroll, the act of role-taking in the classroom is central to this. Carroll used socio-linguistic analysis to discuss the particular way in which role-taking affects classroom dynamics and the effect drama has on student learning. Since this early work from Carroll, the detailed analysis of talk in drama has received little attention. In this paper I aim to draw on both this early work by Carroll, and my own recent work using conversation analysis (Freebody, 2009, 2010) to continue the discussion around the significance of drama, role and talk in education.","PeriodicalId":41180,"journal":{"name":"NJ-Drama Australia Journal","volume":"15 1","pages":"65 - 75"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2013-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75125231","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper focuses on one small but critical aspect of the larger project. Asked what they valued in a theatre experience, a significant number of young people spoke about liveness. The paper addresses the question: what are the key points/ideas about liveness that we can learn from listening to the young people? Our discussion includes a consideration of: the comfort or discomfort of presentness; performer vulnerability, risk and uncertainty; proximity to the live action; perceptions of realness; a sense of relationship with the actors; and intensity of engagement. A brief consideration of the implications for teachers and theatre providers concludes the paper.","PeriodicalId":41180,"journal":{"name":"NJ-Drama Australia Journal","volume":"14 1","pages":"15 - 26"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2012-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80776728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I argue that interdisciplinary, critical and theoretical perspectives are needed to ensure that drama methods serve rather than work against the overt goals of a social change agenda. I discuss the use of transdisciplinary tools to evoke systems thinking about HIV prevention strategies, and in this consider how drama can contribute as a donor discipline within the field of public health.","PeriodicalId":41180,"journal":{"name":"NJ-Drama Australia Journal","volume":"12 1","pages":"15 - 33"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2011-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81700772","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
